Continuing and new roles for surgery in the management of patients with stage IV melanoma.

TL;DR: In the first Multicenter Lymphadenectomy Trial, retrospective analysis of patients who developed distant metastases found that inclusion of surgery as part of the treatment plan conferred a survival advantage, even in patients who develop high-risk visceral metastases.

Anti-PD-1 Monotherapy in Advanced Melanoma—Real-World Data from a 77-Month-Long Retrospective Observational Study

TL;DR: This study suggests, that the grade of toxicity of the irAE may affect the survival rate, and it is demonstrated that the occurrence of more than one irAE showed a correlation with response to PD-1 ICI therapy and improved the OS and PFS.

Transition of the PD-1 occupancy of nivolumab on T cells after discontinuation and response of nivolumab re-challenge

TL;DR: Overall, the present study suggests that re-challenge with nivolumab may be efficacious in patients with low occupancy at recurrence, and the time-dependence of PD-1 occupancy in five patients who discontinued nivlumab is determined.

The blockade of immune checkpoints in cancer immunotherapy

TL;DR: Preliminary clinical findings with blockers of additional immune-checkpoint proteins, such as programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1), indicate broad and diverse opportunities to enhance antitumour immunity with the potential to produce durable clinical responses.

Combined Nivolumab and Ipilimumab or Monotherapy in Untreated Melanoma.

TL;DR: Among previously untreated patients with metastatic melanoma, nivolumab alone or combined with ipilimumab resulted in significantly longer progression-free survival than ipILimumab alone, and in patients with PD-L1-negative tumors, the combination of PD-1 and CTLA-4 blockade was more effective than either agent alone.
